- Cooperate with lawful police requests: Refusing breathalyzer tests or providing false information can lead to additional charges and penalties.
- Understand the consequences of domestic disputes: Repeated calls to law enforcement for domestic issues can lead to arrests for all parties involved, even if one partner attempts to shield the other.
- Be aware of open container laws: Having open alcoholic beverages in a vehicle, even if parked, can lead to citations and contribute to DUI charges if recent operation is suspected.
